Quoting RAFVC10 (Reply 3):
Do you know if the underground or the train will arrive to the new Terminal? |
Quoting BCNGRO (Reply 5): I think it would have been better for BCN to allocate its new terminal to a single alliance, an alliance willing to start new and longer routes from BCN (and that rules out OW, in my opinion). |
Quoting Aisak (Reply 9): The "Iberia will now lose the Air Shuttle monopoly" is just politic nonsense. Anyone could set up a new Air shuttle service between Madrid and Barcelona simply by allowing customers to buy an open ticket and use it 20 minutes before take off at the checkin counter. I don't get it. why people always mix up Air Shuttle with MAD-BCN? |
Quoting Bullpitt (Reply 11): the puente aereo is a wonderfull service |
Quoting Bullpitt (Reply 11): I'm convinced it will be able to compete with the AVE when it comes into service |
Quoting Bullpitt (Reply 11): I just love reading these stupid comments made primarily by DUMB catlan politicians who have a tendency to say C*RAP everytime they open their mouth. |
Quoting Stylo777 (Reply 12): AA isn't a Star Alliance member! They are in Oneworld. |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 13): as we know for long the links IB-Aena, which explains how it is possible that the most premium facility in BCN is awarded to an airline that has their main hub just 600km away |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 13): And what about Air Europa? Their BCN-MAD service from terminal sud and the rest of flights from T-Norte? |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 13): Can then anyone explain why LCCs as Clickair and vueling are there, as they only offer P2P services? |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 13): IB plans for expansion are the real crap, as those intercontinental routes they promised some months back from BCN |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 13): Compete? yes, but win the battle? Mmmm not so sure |
Quoting Bcngro (Thread starter): |
Quoting SKY1 (Reply 7): Quoting BCNGRO (Reply 5): an alliance willing to start new and longer routes from BCN (and that rules out OW, in my opinion). The problem here: There is no such airline alliance. |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 13): Can then anyone explain why LCCs as Clickair and vueling are there, as they only offer P2P services? |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 13): Furthermore, IB and JK are on sale.... and the first might be bought by AF-KL...which will operate from terminal Norte. This whole decision will need to be reviewed on the coming months like it or not |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 13): Please make clear that this is your interested and biased opinion, not an independent statement |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 13): Compete? yes, but win the battle? Mmmm not so sure |

Quoting BCNGRO (Reply 17): You are right. We can't be 100% sure any airline is going to do so in the near future (not even 5% sure, if you want). But, we CAN be 100% that there is an airline which is not going to do so anytime soon. And that airline is IB. |
Quoting Trinxat (Reply 19): Quoting Bullpitt (Reply 18): In my opinion BCN will always be Spain's second or third airport and of no real importance in Europe. |
Quoting Bullpitt (Reply 20): Quoting Trinxat (Reply 19): I'd rather say it's going to be the 20th in importance (or maybe 21st?) Well if that makes you happy fine by me. But being the 20th airport in Europe is nothing to write home about. |
Quoting SandroZRH (Reply 24): Looks like the Spaniards are good at building Terminals, MAD's T4 is an amazing terminal aswell |
